owner John Hessling announced on Facebook last nite that his famous Las Vegas resort is closing tomorrow. I'm in total shock.
I first stayd there in jan of 2004. so many memories during my decade as a guest. between 2009 & my final visit last june I wrote the 13 poems that form "Blue Moon Suite." I have those to help me remember the place. & a chunk of stucco workers removed before the 2013 repainting & a Blue Moon beach towel that just today I used as a sort of wrap during my nap.
of the many photographs I took there this is one of my favorites. it's of Mario who is featured in the poem "Labor Day."
& here's the red umbrellas that appear in "Colors."
even my current profile photo on this blog was taken at Blue Moon by artist Christopher Bachli -- who workd the front desk.
I feel that the closing of this resort -- following on the heels of Inn Exile -- concludes a vibrant chapter of my life. it makes me sad.
